Ipsy: Making Waves June 2020 Glam Bag Review

Each month I receive two Ipsy Glam Bags and I thought it would be fun to start posting what I receive in them each month.

For those who don’t know, Ipsy Glam Bag is a $12 monthly beauty subscription where you receive 5 deluxe-sized—occasionally full-size—beauty products plus a makeup bag (more info can be found at the bottom of the bottom of the page). Each bag also comes with a card telling you about the product and the full size MSRP.

My ‘Regular’ Bag matches my real profile: brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin, dry, sensitive skin. I’m comfortable with makeup and like all shades of lipstick/eyeshadow/blushers. My ‘Adventurous’ Bag still has my same skin and complexion profile but I say my eyes are violet, my hair is other, and I prefer all the adventurous/bright/bold shades; no neutrals for me.

Do they get it right? Sometimes, but having two different profiles usually means I receive two different sets of beauty products.

 Now onto my Glam Bags for June…

 

June’s Theme: Making Waves

June’s bag definitely gives off Summer in the Sun vibes and would be great to throw in a beach bag.

 

 

Here’s what I received this month…

 

Ipsy Making Waves—Regular Bag

 

DewyTree The Clean Lab AC Dew Foam—I have used this brand in the past and loved it so I’m eager to try out the cleanser.

First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Pores Be Gone Matte Primer—while I like FAB, I’m not sure about this primer since it’s matte and I have dry skin. I’ll give this a go then update this to let you know my thoughts.

Nanette Lepore Body Lotion in Colors of Nanette—I love getting lotion in my bags. Instead of using it as body lotion, I use it as hand lotion. This one is hydrating without being greasy, and it has a lovely fruity-floral scent.

House of Makeup Nail Lacquer in Frozen—I’m normally not one for pastel nail polishes but this one’s not too bad. It is a bit streaky at first but if you keep it in the fridge, it goes on like a charm.

Ofra Cosmetics “Soho” Highlighter (my pick)—this is such a stunning champagne peach highlighter. While it’s popping as a highlighter, it’s also an amazing blush topper when applied lightly with a fluffy blush brush.

 

My thoughts about my regular bag: I’m excited about 4 out of 5 products. I’m not too sure about the FAB Matte Primer but I will give it a go and see how it works with my skin type.

 

Ipsy Making Waves—Adventurous Bag

 

Maëlle Clearly Brilliant Tinted Lips in Nectar—this is a lovely sheer lip tip that will be perfect for subtle summer looks. 

Papa Recipe Eggplant Clearing Mud Cream Mask—I haven’t used this yet but I’m always up for receiving face masks.

DewyTree The Clean Lab AC Dew Foam

First Aid Beauty Hello FAB Pores Be Gone Matte Primer

Ofra Cosmetics “Covent Garden” Highlighter (My Pick)—normally I wouldn’t have picked a champagne rose highlighter but this one is such a lovely shade that works well on my skin tone.

 

My thoughts on my adventurous bag: while I liked the bag, the only ‘adventurous’ bit of makeup was the Ofra highlighter, which was my pick. The lip tint crayon, while a lovely shade, is still a neutral color.

 

Overall, both bags were heavy on the skincare products and I didn’t mind that. I received the DewyTree Cleanser and FAB Matte Primer in both bags. Both bags had the same feel to them so I don’t really feel that they went by the different profiles this month but I still liked both of my June bags.
